Though this is not 100% wool, it has a nice feel and weight. Woolrich typically makes high quality garments and this one represents the brand well. I personally like the color/style, with the contrasting sleeves. I definitely recommend this. I don't know why this' called a shirt, but perhaps it refers to a line that includes a more shirt-like product. In any case, if you're looking for a great sweater, ignore the name and enjoy.
